I read these things this morning and the words were so intense. I needed you to be able to read it also, so here it is .....
Approaching The Tribulation (II)
A
former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says
the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt,
power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal
Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its
crimes, too, she explained. In an interview withThe New American,
Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems
at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a
network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end
the corruption. And she is confident of success.
Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal
on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a
small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially
central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the
international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on
is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she
explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to
dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”
At
the heart of the network, Hudes said, are 147 financial institutions
and central banks — especially the Federal Reserve, which was created by
Congress but is owned by essentially a cartel of private banks.
“This is a story about how the international financial system was
secretly gamed, mostly by central banks — they’re the ones we are
talking about,” she explained. “The central bankers have been gaming the
system. I would say that this is a power grab.”
"The
powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less
than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able
to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the
world as a whole,” wrote Prof. Quigley, who agreed with the goals but
not the secrecy. “This system was to be controlled in a feudalist
fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret
agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The
apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in
Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's
central banks which were themselves private corporations."
While
Hudes sounded upbeat, she recognizes that the world is facing serious
danger right now — there are even plans in place to impose martial law
in the United States, she said. The next steps will be critical for
humanity. As such, Hudes argues, it is crucial that the people of the
world find out about the lawlessness, corruption, and thievery that are
going on at the highest levels — and put a stop to it once and for all.
The consequences of inaction would be disastrous.
This development is also worth watching closely:
Samantha
Power, a former White House aide and Harvard professor, asserted in a
2002 interview in Berkley University that the US might in the future be
forced to deploy a large military force in Israel in order to impose a
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establish a Palestinian state.
Asked
how she would advise the president to address the situation, she
replied, "What we need is a willingness to put something on the line in
helping the situation. It may mean investing billions of dollars, not in
servicing Israel's military, but actually investing in the new state of
Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars in what will have to be
a mammoth protection force."
Power
was widely reported to have argued for the US decision to intervene
militarily in 2011 to support the rebels who eventually toppled
long-time Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The
current UN ambassador Susan Rice was also very critical of Israel in
the past but as an envoy adhered closely to traditional US policy in
regards to Israel.
Power is, unsurprisingly, not only a radical leftist who believes America is evil and owes the world an apology, but someone with an egregious history of antipathy directed towards Israel
Power’s
attitude towards Israel is also alarming and destructive. In 2001, she
attended the United Nations’ World Conference Against Racism, held in
Durbin, South Africa. She remained there after the U.S. withdrew most of
its diplomatic participation, when it became apparent the gathering
would amount to little more than a platform for anti-American,
anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic tirades.
A year later,
Power was interviewed by Harry Kreisler of Berkeley’s Institute of
International Studies. He asked Power to engage in a “thought
experiment” about how she would advise the president “to put a structure
in place” with regard to the Palestine-Israel problem to “monitor the
situation,” if one party or the other was “moving towards genocide.”
Power appears quite comfortable with the obviously loaded question, never once acknowledging that Kreisler was making no distinction between the Palestinians, who were in the midst of waging an intifada against Israel, and Israel’s right to defend itself from annihilation.

In
a further cementing of her twisted moral equivocation, Power describes
terrorist leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
(who made tremendous concessions to the belligerent Arab Palestinians),
as morally comparable; as two men “politically destined to destroy the
lives of their own people,” and “dreadfully irresponsible.”
Power’s
nomination as the US Ambassador to the UN make perfect sense, of
course, for an Obama administration that has made it clear there is
precious little in the way of moral clarity with regard to its
relationship with Israel, even as the disaster of the Arab Spring
threatens to destabilize the region in a manner that may pose an
unprecedented level of danger to the Jewish State.
The last thing America needs is another representative willing to see the entire world, including Israel and the United States, in morally relative terms. Power’s clear disdain for American exceptionalism is more than enough to disqualify her for the job of UN Ambassador. Our enemies have no such misgivings about who they are and what they want—and what they are willing to do to get it.

Would
you wear an electronic tattoo if you couldn’t log on to the Internet
without one? That may sound crazy to many of you, but the technology
for such a system already exists. RFID tattoos have existed for quite some time,
and they are already being used on animals. But now an entirely new
generation of electronic tattoos are being developed that can monitor
your vital signs, interact with your mobile phone and even communicate
directly with your mind. These new electronic tattoos are thinner than a
human hair, and they are going to fundamentally transform the way that
we think about human identification.
Right
now, the Internet is being absolutely plagued by hackers and identity
theft has become a multi-billion dollar enterprise. It is becoming
increasingly difficult to determine if someone is actually who they say
that they are. And as even more of our commerce gets conducted through
the Internet, identity security is going to be absolutely critical.
Without a doubt, there will continue to be a push for more secure forms
of identification than we have today.
But there is also a very dark side to this kind of technology. What if someday a tyrannical government decides to make a permanent electronic tattoo for identification purposes mandatory for all citizens? What if you are not able to buy, sell, get a job, have a bank account or log on to the Internet without “proper identification”? What if the price for receiving your tattoo is to swear absolute allegiance to that tyrannical government? The truth is that technology is always a double-edged sword. It always brings with it the promise of progress, but it also always has a dark side that could potentially be abused.

Could
technology that helps us identify one another on the Internet someday
be used to brand us all like cattle and force all of humanity into a
dark system of control and enslavement?
Don’t
think that such a dystopian society can never exist in our modern
world. Freedoms and liberties are being taken away from people all over the globe right now even though things are still relatively stable.
So what is going to happen when the world goes crazy someday and the
planet is absolutely ravaged by economic collapse, pandemics, crime,
rioting, natural disasters and war?
That is something to think about.
We're right on the threshold to the Tribulation. The world that
biblical prophecy describes - that world that will be in place during
the Tribulation is just barely beyond reach. And one interesting, yet
prophetic aspect to this is the speed with which it is approaching.
We are watching this transformation of the world in real time and it is both stunning and ominous.
As stated yesterday - we know our fate and it doesn't involve being part of this dark world that is coming.
Like it or not - the U.S. administration is arguably doing more to
hasten this transformation than any other government or political
figure. From shaping events in the Middle East towards prophetic
fulfillment, to the rise of a totalitarianism, to oppression of dissent,
to persecution, to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood - we can now
count on the U.S. to play its role in end times developments.
For this reason, perhaps we should be thankful to the Obama administration.
One can't help but wonder what will happen to the U.S. administration during the Tribulation.
Well, that isn't my concern. We have a wedding date approaching and
we will find ourselves residing in a glorious place called New
Jerusalem. You can read the last two books of the Bible to see where our
future will be. I doubt that we'll have any interest in the carnage
taking place on planet earth.
Good luck to the rest of them. Those who are creating this "New World
Order" and those who believe that they are creating their personal
utopia while everyone else suffers.
One aspect of the Tribulation that is interesting: The people now in
power and those who are orchestrating the current form of world-wide
totalitarianism - will suffer equally through God's judgments during the
Tribulation. They will suffer just as those people they seek to
oppress.
Wealth, fame, status and power won't matter during the Tribulation - the judgments will affect everyone equally (excepting the 144,000).
Wealth, fame, status and power won't matter during the Tribulation - the judgments will affect everyone equally (excepting the 144,000).
The world that they seek will come. In spades.
As the old saying goes - "Be careful what you wish for...." •
